The Rant: Dillon should think twice before driving the No. 3 car

Austin Dillon appears to have a pretty bright future in NASCAR’s Sprint Cup series. But, if I was him, I wouldn’t want any part of that to come while driving the No. 3 car. I don’t see why Dillon, who said on Thursday he would be open to the move, would want to start his career with that type of pressure.

Dale Earnhardt was more than a great driver; he was a way of life for many NASCAR fans. If you take that legacy on, you’re not only going to be held to a higher standard when it comes to winning races, you’re also going to be expected to represent everything he stood for. Seems like a lot to handle for a rookie.
